Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am having stomach pain for the last two days with loose motions. I took medicine to control loose motions. But, I am using bathroom for every four to five hours.

I feel some heavy pain in stomach and feels like going bathroom. The motion is not loose and not regular too. It is dark and greasy. When I press the stomach I feel the pain. Please advice some medicine.

I am fasting all day due to the festive season and having heavy food late night. I had a heavy diet with chicken before two days and since then it has started. I can feel the pain over the stomach and sometimes in the back too. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand that you are currently experiencing a troublesome health issue, and I'm sorry to hear that. However, there is no need to worry as with proper care and lifestyle changes, you can recover soon. I recommend consulting your local physician and requesting a prescription for Metronidazole or Rifaximin to be taken orally, as well as Imodium (Loperamide) for the loose motion. The main focus of management should be on staying hydrated by consuming plenty of fluids, including Pedialyte, to replenish fluid loss. It is important to avoid fried and fast foods, spicy meals, and heavy meals. Try to keep your diet light. By following these recommendations, you can improve your condition and support your recovery.
